Hout Bay, Cape Town South Africa
Hout Bay (Afrikaans: Houtbaai, meaning Wood Bay) is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa situated in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, twenty kilometres south of the Central Business District of Cape Town. The name Hout Bay can refer to the town, the bay on which it is situated, or the entire valley.
When the Dutch established a colony in Table Bay in 1652, a vast quantity of good timber was required for construction, shipbuilding other purposes. There was no vast forest near the settlement, mainly because the rainfall was not high enough. It was soon apparent that the colonists would be able to fell wood they needed in the wetter valley that lay on the other side of a low pass (called Constantia Nek) between the southern end of Table Mountain and Constantiaberg. The area was initially made up of two farms, which were slowly subdivided to make way for urban expansion. While still maintaining its rural atmosphere, the city of Hout Bay has more than 12,000 residences inhabited by a population of about 42,000 people
Hout Bay (Cape Town - Western Cape)
Hout Bay is a town near Cape Town, South Africa situated in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, twenty kilometers south of the Central Business District of Cape Town. Hout Bay is surrounded by mountains to the north, east and west and the southern Atlantic Ocean to the south. The sheltered bay of Hout Bay has a white sand beach, a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. Hout Bay has one of the busiest fishing harbours in the Western Cape with an established tuna, snoek and crayfish industry. The harbour is home to the Hout Bay Yacht Club and several restaurants. Hout Bay, also known as Dungeons to the surfing community, is one of the sixteen recognised big wave spots around the globe. The annual Red Bull Big Wave Africa competition is held here. As a historic and still-working fishing village, Hout Bay's local colour and beautiful scenery make it a popular tourist attraction among both local and international visitors. There are a variety of fine restaurants in the village as well as two hotels (the Hout Bay Manor and the Chapman's Peak Hotel), many bed and breakfasts and self-catering accommodation where visitors can stay. The harbour is a worthwhile visit, with restaurants, fresh fish outlets and craft stores, with spectacular views of the bay and boat rides to Duiker Island and around the Sentinel. Chapman's Peak Drive is one of the world's most scenic mountain drives. The Hout Bay Yacht Club is situated in the working harbour and provides moorings for both recreational, fishing and sailing boats.

Once a small sleepy fishing village, Hout Bay seems to have remained in transition forever. You can enter Chapmans Peak at the southern end of the town headed for Noordhoek. There are a few good restaurants and Guest Houses in the area. There is a under cover craft market with some of the best food you can find in Cape Town.
Before heading over Chappies, stop and storl through the old fort as you enter the drive. If you choose to go over Constantia Nek you will find a couple of great small wineries, which will rival some of the best wines you have ever tasted! In the harbour you will find boats that will take tourists out to seal island.
